when the truth is ugly, people try to keep it hidden, because they know the damage it will do. so they conceal it within sturdy walls or they place it behind closed doors or they obscure it with clever disguises. but the truth, no matter how ugly it is, always emerges. and someone we care about always ends up getting hurt. and someone else will revel in their pain and that's the ugliest truth of all.
we have all made mistakes that diminish us and those we love. but there is redemption if we try to learn from those mistakes and grow.
yours truly
